Basically I have a page that displays a seating plan using check boxes. These check boxes can be ticked to represent the seat being booked. I also have a text input where names are entered for the bookings, these forms are then posted to the next page to work out what check boxes are selected and save them in the database. This is some of the code:
title>School Hall</title>
<script>
function confirmReservation() {
var selectedList = getSelectedList('Confirm Reservation');
if (selectedList) {
if (confirm('Do you want to CONFIRM this Reservation : ' + selectedList + '?')) {
document.forms[0].statusA.value=0;
document.forms[0].statusB.value=1;
document.forms[0].previousPage.value='schoolHall';
document.forms[0].action='bookingQueries.php';
document.forms[0].submit();
} else {
clearSelection();
}
}
}
function cancelReservation() {
var selectedList = getSelectedList('cancel Reservation');
if (selectedList) {
if (confirm('Do you want to CANCEL this Reservation : ' + selectedList + '?')) {
document.forms[0].statusA.value=1;
document.forms[0].statusB.value=0;
document.forms[0].previousPage.value='schoolHall';
document.forms[0].action='bookingQueries.php';
document.forms[0].submit();
} else {
clearSelection();
}
}
}
function getSelectedList(actionSelected) {
// get selected list
var obj = document.forms[0].elements;
var selectedList = '';
for (var i = 0; i < obj.length; i++) {
if (obj[i].checked && obj[i].name == 'seats[]') {
selectedList += obj[i].value + ', ';
}
}
// no selection error
if (selectedList == '') {
alert('Please select a seat ');
return false;
} else {
return selectedList;
}
}
function validateForm()
{
var x=document.forms["0"]["fname"].value;
if (x==null || x=="")
{
alert("First name must be filled out");
return false;
}
}
</script>

Is there any way i can incorporate validation with my current code? I need the names text checked to make sure there is actually a name entered. This needs to happen before the next page is accessed. Any ideas?
